inspirational - 16" binos and spectral...thingy

just found this website about Newtonian binoculars .
Would you like to look through one of those?
I'm not sure. I might loose interest in my little 8" and the camera images.

The totally different but also inspiring thing I came across here on IIS, yesterday, was the idea of looking at the spectrum of whatever is up there and find out about the chemical properties. Sending star light through a prism like Fraunhofer did, I think.

While I might never look through a 16" bino or never find the courage to dive into that analysis view point,
I find it incredibly enriching how diverse all the options for interests are that can come with this new found hobby.

Just wanted to share the love, I guess. Thanks.
